Employee AD self service portal

Security has ever been the top most concern for organizations; therefore, the Lepide Active Directory Self Service software is been developed with embedded security checks. Though, the AD self service software facilitates the end-users and administrator to perform self-password reset, self-account unlock, and self-information update from any computer using the web browser, it does not mean that anyone can access and use the software.

The one who is registered in the database of AD self service can only use it for self-password reset, self-account unlock and self-information update. Just getting registered in the software database does not allow the end users to take advantage of the employee self service portal. The end user has to login to his / her account on LADSS using the provided user name and password. Without specifying the correct user name and password, no one will be able to cash the advantage of LADSS.

This stringent security feature is embedded in this password reset portal keeping the situations in mind that could become headache due to the software misuse. Due to this security feature, using this employee self service portal is completely safe and secure. Let us see the below given diagram to understand how LADSS security feature works:

Mentioned below are the security checks that an end-user or administrator has to qualify before performing any self-service or admin related task on this self service portal:

During configurations of mail server settings, admin sends the complete software URL to the users by generating emails. The mail server name and the sender email address is automatically fetched by the software and users are only required to enter the port address and valid password to gain access to the user console of LADSS.

Both the system admin and the end users need to specify the correct login credentials to use the Lepide Active Directory Self Service tool. In case, the wrong user name or password is provided, the self service portal will not allow the admin / end user to perform any action. In that case, the software displays the corresponding message prompting invalid authentication:

If the admin will not provide the valid user name and password, then he will not be able to configure self-service policies, generate user reports, and send email notification to anyone.

• An end-user needs to provide the correct answers for the security questions to perform self-password reset and self-account unlock. If valid security answers are not provided then the end-user cannot reset password or unlock account.
